		hey guys so anyways i want to convert sprites from gif to the image format that jo-engine supports, but what programs do i need to use and also how do i create animated sprites for jo-engine?

		Johannes recommends IrfanView: 8bit Demo Questions · Issue #57 · johannes-fetz/... I recall having issues with GIMP converting to TGA but IrfanView worked. Assuming you are using 24-bit images: TGA, no compression, export bottom left. I believe that should work.

		on Windows I mostly just use Paint, lol. But IrfanView is also excellent and supports way more file formats! for animated sprites, Jo-Engine comes with a bunch of demos, including I'm pretty sure are some for animating sprites. in fact I just looked, and there's one called "demo - sprite animation" - I'd start there!
